Exol Lubricants helps inspire with donation

Exol Lubricants recently donated a batch of its Optima engine oil to a school for pupils aged 5-18 with complex educational needs.

Reddish Hall School runs a charity to help children and young adults gain vocational skills. Exol Lubricants answered the call for parts and consumables to help the team learn new engineering skills while working on the school’s project cars.

Initially, the school focused on carpentry and bricklaying, but subsequently expanded to offer a range of automotive training. As a result, Reddish Hall School’s facility now features two ramps and a tyre fitting machine.

Paul Eastwood, export sales manager at Exol Lubricants, said: “Exol is delighted to support the new automotive engineering course at Reddish Hall School. The wider automotive industry must do more to equip the next generation of engineers with the skills and products it’ll need, so we’re delighted to step in and help play our part.

“Exol has donated some of its Optima LSGM 5W-30 engine oil for the facility’s cars which should go some way to serve as a fantastic learning resource for future mechanical talent.”
